In the late summer, over 40,000 endangered Gray Bats can be seen emerging from the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge’s Cave Springs Cave at twilight. On August 9, members of the Wheeler Refuge staff were on-site to talk about wildlife found around Cave Springs Cave including the endangered Gray Bat.
Pack 25 participated in this “Clean and Learn”. We helped pick up trash along the roadside near the Cave Springs Cave. After enjoying a little watermelon break, we heard a bat expert tell us about the endangered gray bats that lived in Cave Springs Cave. Just before dark, we watched thousands of gray bats emerge from the cave.
